Hi,On the PIC 767 I know that to get an accurate rotation and smooth departure you have to set the trim to around 3 units every time.In the PIC/POSKY merge that was supplied on this forum, the trim is somewhere around 7. Should I leave it like this, or change it to something more realistic for good rotation?Thanks.Alex.

Both the 767 and 757 should be trimmed to 4 units prior to take off.Regards,Van LatendresseYeoDesigns/AFG GroupPanel/FDE Designer

The exact takeoff trim setting usually varies between 4 and 5 units, depending on load.I have a trim chart, from which you can establish the exact trim amount. Also Ilan Jonas' excellent dispatcher program calculates the trim as a function of load.I myself put it to 4.5 units if I'm too lazy to make the calculations.Tero

Hi,Thanks, could you perhaps send me the chart please to [email protected] with 767 and 757 always set trim to around 4 units?Regards.Alex.

Get the dispatcher, perhaps the PIC club has it on their site. The trim setting is perfect everytime, and yes it's usually around high 4 to low 5 for a fully loaded aircraft.

I always send the stabiliser trim to +4 units , rudder and aileron trim to 0 (which is default anyway).After landing, as per my 'After landing' checklist I set stab trim to +3 units.

Does this apply to 757 as well?Alex.
